Tigresa [English translation]

A tigress with black fingernails and hazel iris

A woman, a beauty that happened to me

Rubbing her golden brown skin of her body against mine

She told me the evil is good and well is cruel

While the fur of this goddess shiver on the atheist wind

She tells me about everything she's been through with no sure

She liked Policy in 1966

And now she dances in Frenetic Dancing Days*

She tells me she was an actress and she played at Hair

She was happy with a few men, with others she was a woman

She tells she has much anger in her heart, she's given much love

She's been spreading much pleasure and much pain

But she at the same time tells that everything is going to change

Because she will be what she wanted, inventing a new place

Where the people and the happy nature live always in communion

And the tigress has more power than the lion

Her feline claws have marked the heart of mine

But her girly foolishness has marked nothing in me

And I ran to my guitar in a sorrow and the morning came blue

It's so good being able to play an instrument
